Twin Cities native
Chris Graham caught the attention of the local jazz community while only a teenager. His early talent and passion for the music earned him admission to The New School in New York city, where he had the privilege to study with true masters and elders of the music.
Chris’ guitar playing shows a deep understanding of the jazz tradition, but is also fully of the present. His fluid technique, harmonic sophistication and lyrical phrasing result in a freedom and spontaneity that brings music to life. Performing arrangements of traditional jazz standards and original compositions, his band plays with fire, moves with trust, and is always in service of the music.
Performing an inspired and enticing variety of musical styles with the Twin Cities’ top players, Katia has been described as having
“the pipes to get over an R&B tune, but also has the instincts and subtlety to handle jazz standards” (Rhythm & Grooves).
